They’re being interrogated and our boats are being searched. We’ll likely never see our boats again and will be fortunate to get our people back.

Blockade the Strait of Hormuz and allow all non Iranian flagged ships safe passage through. Any hostile action taken towards a US ship will be met by sinking the offending vessel.

Sounds like a repeat of the Jimmy Carter hostage crisis. I
pray for our sailors. Will it take getting Trump or Cruz
elected to get them back?

Tear up the deal, triple the sanctions, blockade their ports.

This is an act of war.

Anyone with media contacts tell them to start the Jimmy Carter countdown:

HOSTAGE CRISIS DAY 2

Pray for these soldiers. It’s obvious we are fricked by the morons that elected Zero. Twice.

While Obama was giving the SOTU saying we were the most powerful nation on earth....

our captured soldiers were being interrogated and held hostage by Iran.

Back in my day, this would have been considered an act of war.

Exactly so, but IF you expect Obama to do ANY of that, you’re barking up the wrong tree.

That’s right, our people were captured, being interrogated, boats are being searched, and Obama stands up there in the SOTU telling America how we’re, “Not in decline” and how we are, “All powerful”.

Flipping incredible.

It will be heavy price for these sailors, but when President Trump is inaugurated they will be released.

At that point I hope Iran pays a heavier price from our new Commander in Chief.

This is Carter/Reagan all over again.

Weak wimpy Democrat gets shown up by Iran. Lousy economy. Malaise.

Iran is going to hold on to these ‘spies’ for some time. It’ll completely reshape the election and benefit the Republicans.

Now we need our Reagan and not turn back.

At some point we’ll have a commander in chief who will admit that we’re up against an eighth century military mindset with modern weaponry, who will deal with them as such.

In the meantime, we’re stuck with a narcissistic blabber mouth who lives a fantasy life based on delusion.

Time for the ultimatum we should have given North Korea with the Pueblo capture:

"You have eight (8) hours to have our vessels and their crews back in international waters -- totally intact and uninjured -- or you can say goodbye to one of your cities."

But, 0b0z0 doesn't have the cojones to do so...
